Résumé:
Depuis 2015, l’exposition « Improbabilis, le végétal sous les obus » voyage de ville en ville, de galeries d’arts en lieux culturels atypiques. Entre architecture, paysage, urbanisme, histoire, botanique et poésie, ce projet éditorial est la suite de l’exposition, une hybridation expérimentale. Avec les photographies d’Anthony Rojo, issues des expositions d’Improbabilis, le végétal sous les obus. Les pare-bombes en béton de la Base sous-marine de Bordeaux ont volé en éclats par endroits sous l’intensité des obus alliés, laissant des trous béants dans l’armature du toit du bâtiment de guerre. Aussi improbables qu’ils soient, ces trous accueillent désormais des paysages à la végétation spontanée, riche et variée. Chênes, frênes, saules, fougères, orchidées sauvages. Au fil des décennies, et sans l’intervention de l’Homme, un écosystème s’est installé dans les débris.

Résumé:
How can our urban jungles be transformed into skyscraper forests that help our cities provide new forms of sustenance, from urban farms to breathing buildings? The topic is increasingly in the public eye, and the answer is already cropping up on our streets. Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings that are less structure and façade, more living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive, and both pleasing to the eye and relevant to our day-to-day lifestyles.

Résumé:
Postindustrial transitions and changing cultures of nature have produced an unprecedented degree of fascination with urban biodiversity. The “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature, is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. Indeed, these islands of biodiversity underline the(...)

Résumé:
Postindustrial transitions and changing cultures of nature have produced an unprecedented degree of fascination with urban biodiversity. The “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature, is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. Indeed, these islands of biodiversity underline the porosity of the distinction between urban and rural. In this volume, Matthew Gandy explores urban nature as a multilayered material and symbolic entity, through the lens of urban ecology and the parallel study of diverse cultures of nature at a global scale. A study of urban nature that draws together different strands of urban ecology as well as insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought.

Résumé:
It has become conventional to think of urbanism and landscape as opposing one another—or to think of landscape as merely providing temporary relief from urban life as shaped by buildings and infrastructure. But, driven in part by environmental concerns, landscape has recently emerged as a model and medium for the city, with some theorists arguing that landscape architects are the urbanists of our age. In this volume, one of the field’s pioneers presents a powerful case for rethinking the city through landscape.
